Welcome to USG Restart!

Work is valuable, for everyone, both now and in the future.

A job for life is no longer just a matter of course. An employer’s changing demands, needs or developments may result in your job being terminated. Restart will be your guide at this key moment in your career, with our extensive coaching and matching experience. 

The Unemployment Guidance process is focused on finding a suitable new working environment, whereby we’ll opt for the shortest possible route to work. Restart will provide you with personal support: transparent, practical and always completely customised. Your advisor will listen, provide an insight into the possibilities, guide you through the employment market, put you in contact with employers, help with formulating plans and translate them into concrete actions. 

What the process looks like

Stap 1

The initial interview

The initial interview is an introduction during which we’ll be discussing your situation, work experience, competencies and wishes. We’ll also discuss the objective, the working method and the expectations throughout the process. We’ll look at which approach will be best in order to make optimal use of your job opportunities.

Tests

You will be completing numerous tests after the initial interview, which will allow you to gain more insight into your skills and job opportunities. Together we’ll choose which USG Restart's assessments are of interest to you. These assessments represent an in-depth look at your personal and search profile.
Stap 3

Personal Action Plan

You’ll draw up a personal action plan together with the advisor once you’ve attended the initial interview and completed the assessments. This plan will include the process objective, as well as any specific follow-up steps, the expectations, the required expertise and the time required. Your personal action plan will form the basis for the approach throughout the process.

The advisor will give you all the guidance you need with all your applications!
